It has been raining a lot these few days and on rainy days, I love having everyone sitting together to eat a nice meal. We bought a few packs of cage free, antibiotics free chickens and I've been thinking of different recipes for them. It seems like a great night for baked/ roasted chicken. They turned out really good; very juicy and tender.
I'm going to do my best to write the recipe, to be as detailed as possible .. because I enjoy cooking by "agak-agak". The best way to explain agak-agak is estimation/ intuition. In my mom's days, cooking traditions were handed down from one generation to another without a formal recipe. Everything is agak-agak :)
INGREDIENTS
A
5 Chicken Drumsticks/ Wings
B
Garlic (1 clove)
Ginger (3 inches)
Soy sauce (1.5 tablespoons)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Sugar
Mirin (Japanese cooking wine) (1.5 tablespoons)
Sesame Oil (1 tablespoon)
C
Honey
METHOD:
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Blend all the ingredients B
- Rub the blended ingredients on the chicken (gently! like you're massaging someone)
- Set aside for at least an hour. (best if overnight)
- Pre-heat over to 400F and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and glaze with honey. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the surface turn golden brown. Mr Chan likes it slightly charred so I baked it for another 5 minutes.
Serve warm with baked cauliflowers and peppers.
